@Ogryn - Next model done and below

the next none SM/Grey model.... Not sure at this point.

@WM - I guess I always look for the positive side within comments and your right it was all purely constructive for which I am grateful for. It's funny you mention getting one of my guys, I've been considering doing a GMS or something similar. Either I paint up marines in my colors and swap or I paint marines in the recipients colors and send them out, not sure which at the moment.

Question then, which would you prefer, one of my 'Gray Nights' or your own force/color scheme but painted by me?

Update: used the batteries from the TV remote and grabbed some shots.

Purgation Marine 1 front

Purgation Marine 1 Rear

**Miss Dee**

Your colours

**whalemusic360**

Lol @ battery theft. I'd prefer one in your colors, or, if bored of that, one in pretty much anything BUT my army. I feel good about my army, no need to change that around

**Briancj**

Definitely your colors.

**Gitsplitta**

Definitely one of your GKs.

**Ogryn**

Wow, this looks pretty good. Love the purity scrolls.

**Knightley**

Well it seems every one would be keen for one of mine, I'll remember that for when I start down the road of a GMS swap, stay tuned for it

Update: Marine 2 done.

Those Purgation Marines look great. Nice clean and crisp paintjobs as usual.

**Gitsplitta**

Very nice! Just love all the little fiddly free-hand. It's such a nice compliment to your clean, crisp painting style.

**Miss Dee**

I dont know I should put writing on my guys or not

**Ogryn**

Nice job, Knightley!

**Markillius08**

Bravo! Premium work as usual sir!

**Knightley**

@F_P - Thank you

@Gits - Cheers Git's to be fair I got the idea for the fiddly lines from you. Admittedly I've used my own perspective on it but the idea came from you.

@Miss Dee - My suggestion would be to try it on one marine on his shin's and shoulders. If you don't like it then those areas should be easy to paint over.

@Ogryn - Thanks!

@Markillius - Thanks mate, good to have you back on the blogs.

Update: Marine 3 done

Rear - I particularly like the mechanical legs on this guy, such a joy to paint.

**lipsdapips**

Love the helmet!...Love the whole thing!

**Ogryn**

Wow, nice mechanical guy!

**Knightley**

@LDP - Cheers man, I really like the helmet as well stoked I have another to use

@Ogryn - Thank you!

Update: Marine 4 done

I'm always blown away by your seamless integration of bits; this is unmistakeable as a gk despite the da and bt parts. Superb, as ever, paint wise, but your modelling skills shouldn't be overlooked either!

**Ogryn**

Words cannot describe how awesome this is.

**Farty Wiffmas**

The entire squad is beautiful! The glowing cables and the free hand make the models individual. Keep up the good work

**Miss Dee**

I could send em ta you to do

**Knightley**

@Graven - Such a awesome compliment, I'm truly thankful for the praise!

@Ogryn - I think you just described how awesome you think it is

@Farty Wiffmas - Thank you for taking the time to comment, it means a lot.

@Miss Dee - There is always that option isn't there

Update: Squad done.

Thanks for reading.

Sweeeet. I love how you manage to make that sword not look daft. Top notch. Also, I got a wee surprise in the post today - simply amazing - that mentor is even prettier in the flesh. Well, plastic. You know what I mean...

**Flying Pooo**

Wow, that's one awesome squad there. It's amazing how clean and crisp they are. They're Beautiful, simply beautiful!

**Knightley**

@Graven - Chur, did he arrive in good condition, I figured putting in the container should help with no breakages. I noticed that you also use some D-bases for your mentors and left that off in case. I expect to see a completed model soon yeah?

@F_P - Thank you very much!

Update: Tank time, and its a large one not sure how long this will take me but I have a feeling a long time.

**bebopdrums2424**

awesome LR!!!!

**Ogryn**

Wow. I really like the Marine #5, and the Land Raider. If I played GKs, I would wish to have a force as awesome as yours.

@Graven: Did Knightley send you something?

**jirc**

Looking really really great Knightley, awesome progress.

Go the ABs!

**Gitsplitta**

Even in pieces the LR looks beautiful. Should be an amazing piece when it's completed.

**lipsdapips**

Wow! What a monster! Can't wait to see more progress.

**IceAngel**

Knightly, I can't imagine how many little black squiggly lines you plan on painting onto that tank but I'm sure it will come out awesome.
